Modeling and Simulation of PMSG-Based Wind Power Generation System

Wind energy is one of the best technologies and widely used source of renewable energy for supplying the electric power to the world due to its environmental and economic advantages. An application of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) into the wind energy system is continuously increasing. In this paper, the modeling and simulation of a PMSG-based wind power generation system under power system dynamic conditions are presented. The dynamic behavior of the wind power generation system is analyzed during the start-up process and the gust, ramp and noisy variation of wind conditions using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.
